The heartwarming video was loved by one and all. Everybody appreciated this man’s thoughtful gesture. “This proves that the smallest acts of kindness can make a difference in someone’s life. I read a comment about giving permission to be filmed and although I agree 100 percent, I believe this type of message can teach us something and hopefully learn to do more,” a user wrote.

“I have Parkinson’s. It’s a tough road sometimes. Often you attract unkind remarks as the symptoms can make you look drunk or on drugs. So this is rather splendid to see,” another tweet reads.
